Oops, anti-freeze as engine coolant?

hahaha, i would siphon it out. unless you started the car and coolant low, it's contained in the reserve bottle. dont start the car and just siphon all of it out and then add the correct coolant to the middle. done.

This is the best course of action and is not that difficult to do.

Sounds easy, I'll siphon it out now and go grab some engine coolant.
Is there a particular coolant I need to use?

Read the owner's manual, page 9-2. It says use Nissan long life coolant or equivalent and mix 50/50 with water. I would buy coolant according to the colour eg, green or orange or ??? if your stuck on exactly what the Nissan coolant is.
